Of course, our trails, tree house, bird blind, and pollinator sanctuaries are open! Bring a friend and a picnic (and good shoes and bug repellent). Spend time listening for frogs and birds at the pond or for birds from the accessible tree house. Trails are open sunrise to sunset every day.

Birds from myth may be symbols, guides, teachers, and/or part of an artist’s cultural and ecological background. For the annual art show, the Birds of Vermont Museum asked creatives to bring such birds into their work. The resulting show explores old legends, represents individual belief, examines misconceptions, and offers new guides. Birds and Myth immerses us in histories, hopes, and imagination.

Consider the scope of an eagle’s eye—the narrow view of a gleaning warbler—the shadowed sight of a loon underwater. We may see birds above us from the ground, or below us from a plane. We may use a camera lens to record from afar, or a magnifier and lamps to perceive what is normally unknown. How does time influence your perspective? What if we “zoom out” from one bird to a species, to an ecosystem, to a planet? What if we “zoom in” to one bird to its wing, to a feather, to a gene?
How does your art reveal a point of view? …How might a change in perspective alter people’s understanding of the lives and needs of the birds who share our world?
Discover how artists, poets, sculptors, photographers and others have answered. The full list of creators is in our blog post, Power of Perspective.

The Birds of Vermont Museum has been hosting themed community art shows since 2014. Each winter, the staff develops a bird-related theme for the exhibit and invites submissions in varied media: visual arts, the written word, sculpture and more.
Our 2024 art show, The Power of Perspective: shifting points of view, poses and answers questions of how our bodies, ideas, and assumptions might alter or affect what we perceive, think about, imagine, and understand about birds. Continue reading “The Power of Perspective | 2024 community art show”
